I watched the game on TV, and missed this. I had no idea he lined up on offense for a play.

Spot on, Coach. I respect Bielema too. I'm glad that the writer noted that the first 4 wins in Bielema's 7-0 streak against Minnesota were compiled against Mason, Brewster and Kill. Fleck shouldn't be associated with the entire streak.

For context, here are Gopher coaches records in conference play since 1954: Murray Warmath — 65-57-4 (.533) Cal Stoll — 27-29 (.482) Joe Salem — 12-32-1 (.272) Lou Holtz — 7-10 (.411) John Gutekunst — 18-28- 2 (.391) Jim Wacker — 8-32 (.200) Glen Mason — 32-48 (.400) Tim Brewster — 6-21...

I like it. One small quibble: you have Wisconsin at 7-2. As of today, Wisconsin has 2 losses in the B1G; they already lost to USC and to Penn State. So, if Minnesota wins out we would be handing the Badgers their third loss. They'd end up 6-3 at best.

The Gophers have already lost to two B1G teams who are in the hunt: Iowa and Michigan. This Saturday, Michigan plays Oregon, and Iowa plays Wisconsin. If the Wolverines and Hawkeyes both lose, and the Gophers beat Illinois, Minnesota will be one game ahead of both Michigan and Iowa in the...

Why would we need Oregon to lose?

Is this fact or assumption, as to which tie-breakers would apply? Do you have a source? I'm not doubting you, but if the tie-breakers have been posted somewhere I'd like to read them.

If we win out, we'd be 7-2 in conference. If Ohio State loses just one more, they would also be 7-2 in conference — they already have 1 loss. That would be a tie, and I'm not sure how the tie-breakers work.

Premise One: Gophers win out. Unlikely, but possible. That would mean we're 7-2 in the B1G. Remember, 2 teams get to the title game, not just one. Therefore it's okay for one team to finish ahead of us. So — let's just say Oregon remains undefeated, for argument's sake. That's one team, but...

Thanks for posting, Noel. Every time I watch one of these I'm reminded how glad I am that he's our coach.

Yes. People forget that Morgan had some pretty good moments even beyond 2019.

Classic, clean, bold. For obvious reasons, they have the official RememberMurray seal of approval!

It is a very long shot, yes. But... You would not need ALL of those teams to lose two games. There will be two teams in the title game, Team 1 and Team 2. Let's say Oregon wins out, and remains undefeated. That puts them in the title game as Team 1. That means Minnesota would have to edge out...

Yes, you're right; we absolutely had them beat. Watching this, it's striking how different our team looks this season compared to back them, especially on offense.

You're right; he faced a lot of pressure. He was never able to get comfortable. And he got hit pretty frequently, and that takes a toll on a QB. It looked like he was getting more and more jumpy back there as the game wore on. Max, on the other hand, was the beneficiary of superb protection.

Just enjoy it while you can. He's gone after this season. Here's hoping there's a good QB waiting in the wings for next year and beyond.

Wait until the next loss. We'll be right back to, "Fire 'em ALL!!!!!"

This kid is beyond special.

Well, we can't change the past — but we can and should take heart in the fact that your wish has now been granted. It has been an absolute pleasure watching Max Brosmer play QB this season.
